What can I say, at work on a Saturday, got inspired suddenly.

When we were young
Even from a young age, it was apparent that Zhane and Andros would be inseperable, no matter what happened in their lives. They had literally latched onto each other at the community care centre where Andros' parents had dropped him off and Zhane's guardian had done the same.
Something just seemed to draw the two children together.
It soon became apparent as they got older and began attending school and the like that seperating the two was practically impossible, so they stopped trying. If one was without the other it was like they were missing a part of themselves, this had caused some concern at first at the depth of their friendship, but those fears were soon put to rest as they saw how much they both depended on each other.
They were complete opposites from one another yet when they were together they made each other whole.
Zhane was full of life, laughter and joy. Having seen so much and suffered so much already he had already discovered at such a tender age to take every day as a gift, because you never know how many you have left.
Andros had always been quiet, introverted and shy, yet when he was with Zhane it was like he was another person.
And then when he suffered his own personal tragedy when Karone was kidnapped, he had withdrawn so much that the only person that could get through to him was Zhane, and it was a very long time before he could even begin to live agian.
Both of them had suffered the loss of their innocence at a young age. Both of them had found one another as friends at a young age. Both children had realised that they couldn't be children for very long, and to cherish what little they had.
And then one day, one day they discovered to their eternal delight that their friendship ran deeper than they both thought, deeper than anyone would ever know.
End.
Just a little oneshot, but I've got a couple more kicking around. Might try and do the prsw7 challenge with these two, we'll see...
